In the year 1998 near Eschede the German ICE-high speed train Wilhelm-Conrad Rontgen got into an accident on its way from Munich to Hamburg with catastrophic results. The broken wheel tyre of the rubber-sprung wheel finally was identified as reason for the accident. The following paper deals with numerical stress analyses as well as with fracture mechanical evaluations for this ICE-wheel tyre fracture. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
